AUTUMNAL SPRAYS 



Wreathing the 



FORTY-FIFTH YEAR 



Princeton, Sixty - Three. 



A Tablet to 
THE FACULTY OF OUR COLLEGE DAYS 



Gathered by the Class Historian. 
JUNE 6, J908. 



PRINCETON, SIXTY-THREE. 

FORTY-FIFTH YEAR 



A movement set on foot several years ago by Dr. Stryker and 
Professor Patton to erect somewhere about the college a memorial 
to our old Faculty culminated on the occasion of our forty-fifth 
anniversary in the unveiling of a bronze tablet in Marquand 
chapel, the handsome structure which replaces (on a different site) 
the homely sanctuary of our period. This * memorial is inscribed 
with twelve honored names, accompanied with words of grateful 
affection, as the tribute of our class to the excellent men who 
composed the modest governing and teaching body of the College 
in our day. In its material and execution, as well as in the style 
and adornment, it is entirely tasteful, adequate and appropriate, 
fit to appear among the other artistic monuments adjacent, and a 
gift worthy of the purpose, unique and original in conception as 
the embodiment of an impulse of feeling and thought, upon which 
the straying member of the class visiting the old place as he comes 
upon it will look with satisfaction and pleasure. It is of an 
aesthetic value which will, we trust, help to insure its long surviv- 
ing the last such visitor of our number and carry on to generations 
beyond the testimony of our grateful remembrance of those good 
men. 



The inscription reads : 

THE FACULTY OF THE EARLY SIXTIES. 

John MaoLean, Arnold Guyot, 

Joseph Henry, George Musgrave Giger, 

Stephen Alexander, John T. Duffield, 

Matthew B. Hope, J. Stillwell Schanck, 

James C. Moffat, Joshua H. McIlvaine, 

Lyman H. At water, Henry C. Cameron, 

In Grateful Remembrance of 

THE Characters, the Lives and the Teaching 

OF Those Whose Names Are Hereon Inscribed. 

This Tablet Is Erected by Their Former Students, 

Surviving Members of the Class of 1863, 

June 6, 1908. 

The history of the movement was recounted by our Class 
President, Dr. Samuel S. Stryker, in the following terms, intro- 
ducing the simple exeri^ises. 
President Wilson: — 

The idea of presenting to the University a memorial tablet 
"To the Faculty of the Early Sixties^^ took shape at an informal 
gathering of a few of the Class of '63, shortly after the death of 
Professor Cameron, who was the last of our original faculty. 
A circular letter was sent out after this meeting to all the mem- 
bers of the Class who could be reached, a part of which I will read. 

"Dear Classmates: — As an outcome of the delightful reunions 
of '63 during the past few years, there should be some evidence of 
our regard for Princeton. It is thought by some of us that a 
bronze tablet commemorative of the Faculty of our time will be 
a proper tribute from our Class. 

"Enclosed find a suggestion of such a memorial, the material 
and workmanship to be good, but of simple design, and the 
inscription in English/' 



It was at first intended, if permission could be obtained, to erect 
the tablet in the new Faculty room,* as we thought that would be 
a very proper site for a faculty tablet. On examination, however, 
no suitable place could be found. The hall-way leading to the 
Faculty room was then considered, but it had already been pre- 
empted by the national societies, Daughters of the Tievolution, 
Colonial Dames and Sons of the Revolution. 

Upon your suggestion, sir, we turned to the Chapel, to find a 
most appropriate, a most fitting place for it, near the beautiful 
marble of the brilliant Professor Henry, the l^ronze of the meteoric 
Professor Guyot, both of our Faculty, and not far from that 
exquisite bas relief of one of Princeton^s most distinguished Pres- 
idents, Dr. McCosh, the successor of our much beloved President 
Dr. MacLean, — truly a splendid grouping of bronze and marble 
in memory of scholarly men ! 

Classmates : I cannot resist this opportunity of saying a word 
to you. We ought to esteem it a high privilege to be alive, when 
so many of our classmates have answered to their last roll call 
It is certainly with great satisfaction that we come back today, 
to celebrate the forty-fifth anniversary of our graduation. Our 
affection for Princeton has in no way lessened with the passing 
of years. We are as truly loyal sons of "Old Nassau" today as 
when we sat on the benches forty-five years ago. Princeton is still 
our slogan, gentlemen. It is the one word that arouses in us all 
that indescribable, enthusiastic spirit that sends the blood dancing 
through our veins, that warms our hearts to one another, and 
binds us close together. 

The friendships of our college days have grown and ripened 
into genuine feelings of high regard and affectionate esteem, and 
the few who are left of the class are now more closely knit together 

*The historic central chamber in Old North, or Nassau Hall proper, 
in which the Revolutionary Congress sate, which in our day had been 
enlarged to receive the Library, and which shortly after became the 
Geological Museum, has now been beautifully transformed in old 
colonial style for the use of the faculty, and contains the valuable 
old portraits, etc. It makes a splendid hall for the purpose. 



than ever before. May the memon' of this delightful occasion 
linger long in our thoughts and in our hearts, and may it be 
a real pleasure to revert to it in days to come. 

Mr. Presidext: I am reminded that minutes count with you 
toda}?-, so I will not lon^'er trespass on your valuable time, but at 
once and with much pleasure introduce to you our class secretary, 
]\lr. John "\V. Patton, who will present the tablet. 

As Professor Patton arose the tablet was unveiled, its beautiful 
proportions and execution and its excellent adaptation to its site 
arousing warm admiration. It is in the style' of the classical 
rennaisance, of light green and ruddy bronze. From a base resting 
upon foliated brackets and scroll work, rise at either side an ele- 
gant Corinthian column, which support an entablature of the 
appropriate order with pediment of volutes and honeysuckle 
ornament above. This framing encloses an ornamental circle, 
bearing the head of Dr. MacLean and the inscription below it. 
The portrait of the old president's head, which is three-quarters 
front face, is successful and impressive, giving well the massive 
forehead and flowing hair, the strong jaw and heavy underlip, 
the spectacles, with behind them the blinking, near-sighted eye, 
and the whole benevolent expression of the good old man. The 
excellence of the likeness is the result of the solicitous attention 
of our Class President and Class Secretary, who watched the hands 
of the artist upon this feature of his work with incessant effort 
to secure a good result. It is the work of Bureau Brothers, of 
Philadelphia, bronze workers, J. Otto Schweizer being the designer 
and sculptor. 

The Class Secretary spoke as follows: 

Presidext Wilsox : As representatives of the Class of 1863 we 
thank you, sir, for meeting us, and we also thank you and the 
others in authority for giving tliis place to the tablet which has 
just been unveiled and is now presented to the University. 

We may not dwell upon the emotions, of mingled joy and 
sadness, evoked bv the memory of our lives as undergraduates of 



the college of more thali forty-five years ago, which has grown 
into the great university of this day. All sons of our Alma Mater 
rejoice in her well being; for surely the Alumni of no other 
institution excel those of Princeton in ardent loyalty. For all 
that she has done, is doing now, and assuredly will do, every one 
who has been a member of her student body must be glad and 
proud and full of hope. 

We congratulate you and your colleagues upon her position and 
progress and promise. 

A large part of the past of Princeton was made by the professors 
whose names are before us. As long as any of those whom they 
taught remain alive, the teachers will be known by "living epis- 
tles." But soon the last man who studied here in "the early 
sixties," will pass away and there will be no eye-witness to the 
worth of the faculty of that period. Change is inevitable. So 
imperative is this certainty that no one can call the utterance of 
it trite. From a translation of the Iliad this is taken : 

"The race of men is as the race of leaves. * * * Of leaves, 
One generation by the wind is scattered on the earth; 
Another soon in spring's luxuriant verdure bursts to light." 

In 1626 a contest arose respecting the succession to the earldom 
of Oxford, in consequence of the death of the Earl, tienry De 
Yere. Charles I. sent the case to ihe House of Peers, who called 
in the judges. Chief Justice Crewe, in giving their opinion, said : 
"Time hath his revolutions. There must be a period and an end 
of all temporal things, finis rerum. An end of names and 
dynasties and whatsoever is terrene. For where is De Vere? 
Where is Bohun? Where is Mowbray? Where is Mortimer? 
jSTay, what is more, and most of all, where is Plantagenet? They 
are entombed in the urns and sepulchres of mortality. Yet let 
the name of De Yere speak so long as it pleaseth God !" May it 
please God that the names on this tablet may for many, many 
years tell of the good and honored men who bore them, and incite 
countless readers to scholarship and fidelity and usefulness. 

As we re-live the past we see their forms and faces and hear 
their voices. Some of them were of great ability and deserved 



fame. We do not discriminate now. In evei}^ g^'ilaxy "one star 
differeth from another star in glorj/' but onr tribute of gratitude 
and honor is paid to each and to all alike, — to ever}^ luminar}^ 
and to the constellation. Yet special reference to the personality, 
only, of him whose likeness adorns this memorial, cannot be 
omitted. He was our president beloved; "dear old John.^' Who 
of us can forget his venerable appearance, his regard for his 
students, his kindness of heart, his enthusiastic devotion to 
Princeton ; or those prayers in the chapel for "the latter day glory 
of the saints," and that "this may be an institution of true piety 
as well as of sound learning?" 

If two of us before the era of trained nurses and infirmaries, 
were called at night to the house of Dr. MacLean to watch some sick 
comrade in the hospitable upper chamber, we heard friendly words 
like these: "One of you lie down on the sofa in the dining room 
while the other sits up, — take turns, — you will find a pillow and 
my cloak," (that well known cloak). "And Ehoda has put some 
refreshments on the table." In the records of the heart such slight 
acts and words register perpetual decrees. Slight? No, for they 
called forth an affection immeasurably great. It is undying for 
President MacLean. 

Our boyhood has vanished long ago. Our youth has vanished. 
Our manhood is vanishing. The shadows are falling on us. But 
our love for our classmates, the dead and the living; our regard 
for our teachers, and our allegiance to our Alma Mater — alma et 
pulchra, and, yes, pulcherrima inter sorores, do not fade. 

Therefore, we leave our token here in grateful remembrance of 
the lives, the characters, and the teaching of those whose names 
are thereon inscribed. 

The reply of President Wilson can be given only from recollec- 
tion, which yields the thoughts substantially, but cannot reproduce 
the nice phrasing and graceful diction of his finely spoken words. 

He said, the occasion was not a tax upon his time, as suggested, 
though these were busy days, but it was a tax upon his heart. 



The class of 1(SG3 could not have well devised anything more 
appropriate or more useful than this memorial of the Facujty of 
their college days. It was an enduring tribute to the worth of 
the men then active in the work of the college, and of our appre- 
ciation of them; and he gratefully accepted the tablet as an 
addition of a very significant nature to the valuable memorials 
tbat are gradually assembling about the place, all of them enrich- 
ments of its associations and testimonials of its higher meaning. 
If it meant much to the class in giving it, it meant much more to 
the college, as a proof of the kind of power it had so long been 
exerting in the world, as well as in the nation. He, as president, 
felt distinctly deepened the sense of the great responsibilities im- 
posed upon himself and those with him now engaged in carr3dng 
on the great work shaped out by the faculty of the sixties and the 
a1)le men preceding them. For the men whose names are inscribed 
here had stamped their characters on the Institution, as well as 
upon us, their students, and were the example, in that special 
regard, towards which those who succeed them in the work in chang- 
ing times must look as the guide to a just conception of the task 
which it ought to l^e their study to accomplish. Institutions are 
nothing if they do not in this way have the stamp of character. 
These were great men, both as scholars and as educators and 
Avorkers. Several of them, whose names he noted, were of wide 
reputation and even more than national fame. But he was deeply 
impressed when he looked at their work and observed with what 
largeness and truth it had been laid out and the fidelity with which 
it was executed, the wholesome integrity with which it had been 
handed down, that it is not the repute in their own generation 
men succeed in winning, but the solid results they actually pro- 
duce, the permanent work remaining, when their names, often, are 
not even remembered, that entitles them to honor at our hands 
and affixes to them the marks of real greatness. But such men 
ought not to be forgotten; and he wished that these names could 
have stood out yet more boldly than they do in this inscription on 
the bronze, to ensure their memory as their great merits deserve. 



and in letters so large that the future generations of 3^o'ang men 
who ^j^ill go in and out here shall not fail to see them and feel 
the influence of what they were. 

Because, in the fact of our doing this act of recognition, in the 
erection of such a monument after the lapse of so long a time as 
these forty-five years, we bear evidence undeniable that they ful- 
filled the precise intent and observed the leading aim and spirit 
of the place. He and the faculty of today would be helped to 
realize by such a remembrance of their strong qualities that they 
were not building an3^thing new or original. Strong hands, brave 
hearts, keen minds, have labored and pondered here before; but 
the success of those now here would be found in discerning that 
aim and spirit in faithfully carrying forward as best they could 
with the means furnished them, the great work already established 
by their predecessors, the faculty of that earlier time. And they 
could not hope for a better reward than to win such recognition 
in passing ofl the stage as has been accorded to them. He envied 
Dr. MacL'can opportunities which scarcely now existed; he 
wished he could do his own work as well as the earlier president 
did his, because in ways that can now no longer be done he could 
come directly in personal contact with the boys. The peaceful 
and benign touch between the faculty and the students in the old 
time Princeton College was a benediction to the more limited 
numbers who gathered in that day, which in the nature of the 
case is impossible since the old college has become an enlarged 
university with its greatly increased throng of students and its 
many and various courses of instruction. But though time 
wrought inevitable changes, such occasions as this strongly enforce 
upon us the permanence of the spirit of the thing. 

He was thus, glad to receive this Memorial as an evidence of 
the impress set by these men on our minds and characters. This 
was the truest conception of what education should always be, 
and it was his desire that the men at the present day in charge of a 
duty so high may execute their trust and fulfil their work with a 
conception and purpose such as to merit the same commendation 



in their hirn, and, like tlie men whose names we read here, live in 
the affection and esteem of those passing beneath their inflnencc 
and through their hands. For this is exactly the thing Princeton 
stands for, a power to impress personality and affect character in 
salutary and permanent ways, resulting in elevation of the stand- 
ards of being, the development of worthy ideals, and the deepening 
of the efficiency of the lives of the youths who come here to be 
trained. We shall have done our work well if, long j^ears after it 
is ended such results of it remain, and the men we have touched 
shall come here to say of us, what you by this memorial this day 
say of them. 

Upon the conclusion of the exercises the members of the class 
were presented to President Wilson and spent some time in admir- 
ing the workmanship of the tablet. The gathering was small, no 
general notice of the event having been given. Among the few in 
the chapel was ^Irs. Archibald MacLean, widow of Dr. MacLean's 
brother, a daughter of Prof. Henry, and Mrs. Wells, of Aurora, 
X. Y., sister of our classmate. Dr. John Hutchins. We had also 
the pleasure of seeing Douglas Wyman Eeeder and Eugene Harri- 
man Vredenburg, of the 3^ounger generation. 

In contrast with these days when the Faculty of the University 
number by hundreds, it is suggestive of the modesty of our earlier 
time that, of the twelve names that appear on the bronze. 
Professor Henry was Emeritus, merely visiting the place occasion- 
ally to deliver a short course of lectures; Professor Hope died in 
our Freshman year, before our ever having the benefit of his 
teaching, and Professor ]\Ioffat was translated to the Theological 
Seminary the 3^ear following, with the same result, so that our 
faculty consisted practically of the president and eight professors, 
together with the succession of about the same number of tutors. 

It is ours not to despise the day of small things. 

Touching the history of the tablet. Dr. Stryker's recollection 
is that the project was first mooted during the reunion at Gen. 
Eeeder's in Octol)er, 1906, the first circular upon the subject being 



issued earl}^ in 1907 following. This is correct so far as it goes, 
and so far as regards specifically a bronze in honor of the old 
faculty. But it may be worth while recording what the Class 
Historian very distinctly remembers, and the Class President may 
recall when reminded of it. On that commencement Saturday in 
June, 1903, the occasion of our "Forty ennial,^' as we were proceed- 
ing to the station to take the train, after the dinner at the Princeton 
Inn, Dr. Stryker remarked to us, "We ought to set up, somewhere 
here about the college, a monument or tablet, — something or other 
to mark the occasion of this delightful reunion and as an expres- 
sion of the feeling of our class towards the old college." We 
were passing by the Halsted Observatory at the moment, and 
Stryker extended his hand, as he spoke, towards the rugged stone 
walls of that, in our time, newest monument of progress, now one 
of the older things of the institution. The sentiment was echoed 
favorably, and though it slumbered for a time, it was immediately 
recalled to the mind of the present writer as what he supposed 
the germ of the project when the circular was sent out in 1907. 

THE LUNCHEON. 

At one o^clock the classmates on the ground assembled at the 
Inn for luncheon. Those present, twelve in number, were Foster, 
Hall, Hendrickson, Nichols, O'PIanlon, Patton, Eeeder, Sexton, 
Strickler, Stryker, Vredenburg and Swinnerton. All were enthus- 
iastic over the accomplishment of the project in honor of the 
memory of our old Faculty. There was much delightful inter- 
course, old men's chaff and boyish fun, all marvelling that after 
so many years we could find each other so little changed, so much 
in touch and voice and manner that was entirely the same. 
Warm expressions of thanks were moved by Drs. Strickler and 
Foster and several others to the class officers for the efficient man- 
ner in which they had discharged the work of securing the 
memorial, which were seconded in earnest and eloquent words by 
Judge Hendrickson and Dr. O'Hanlon. An hour was spent in 
hearing from Dr. Stryker extracts from letters from absent class- 



mates, in reminiscence, anecdote and chat. The men appeared to 
be as much alive as ever and as earnest in affection for Princeton 
and the class. 

A financial statement acknowledged the liberality of the contri- 
butions, which have fully met the cost of the bronze, and leave 
sufficient in hand to pay the printer of these pages. 

The day was perfectly beautiful, the glorious campus and its 
incomparable array of edifices was beyond words in its loveliness, 
and all adjourned to the ball game (which Princeton won) in 
the highest spirits, before us going the banner in orange and black, 
bearing our year, " '63," writ large, which has been preserved 
with care by Patton since the day it went before us in procession 
in 1903, and which formed part of the veiling of the tal)let in 
the chapel. 

On Tuesday following, iVlumni Day, the class was represented 
on the speakers' platform by classmate Eichard K. Cross, Esq., of 
Baltimore, in an excellent speech, of which the Class Historian 
has been unable to obtain a copy for this pamphlet. Patton 
reports that it was '^TDoth righteous and witty," and that Cross 
looked what S. S. S. would call a "thoroughbred." 

BEIEF NOTES FEOM CLASSMATES. 

There are two or three changes of address. Haines is now at 
Spartansburg, S. C, Chetwood at New Eochelle, N. Y., and 
Swinnerton at Penn Yan, N. Y. (300 Main Street). Freeman 
has assumed charge of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago. 

The class will sympathize with several of our number who are 
in ill health: Haines and Turnbull, who for long time have not 
been well; Colman, "invalidism for ten years;" King, "greatly 
impaired sight," and with Inman and Young on account of seri- 
ous illness in their families. 

Washburn regrets being "obliged to cut roll call." Miller 
couldn't come, begins to feel his age, but "believe yet I could 
beat Jim V. and Frank E. at a game of draw poker." Beach 
Jones and Hayt are to be out of the country in June; Dennis, in 



Maine. Lowrie sa3^s^ '^M}^ loss, and one I greatly regret/^ with 
which MacCoy, Henry M. Williams and very many others agree 
in equivalent terms; and VanCleve writes, "Would like to see 
the gray headed men of ^63 in a bunch once more/' and rejoices 
that "when we are all gone there will be something to tell the boys 
that we once were." 

THE INTEEVEIS^ING YEAES. 

Since the former "'Sprays'' were sent out (January, 1905), 
there have been several delightful gatherings of the class. One, 
of a Saturday in March, 1906, at Foster's pleasant home in 
Trenton. Besides the host there were at the table Stryker, Patton, 
Eeeder, Jones, Hall, Vredenburg, Mac Coy, Patterson and Swin- 
nerton, a lovely occasion. 

Gen. Eeeder, in October following, invited us to the annual 
reunion at his home in Easton, some seventeen responding, 
among them McGuire, whom we had not seen since he left college. 
A telegram was received from Henley Smith, then in Italy, 
inviting the class to enjoy their next reunion with him at his 
house in Washington, in October, 1907, a pleasure that was denied 
us by a solemn interdict. In April, that year, news reached us of 
the death of our classmate in Florence, whence his body was 
brought for burial at Washington. 

Dr. Stryker invited a meeting of the class at dinner with him, 
March 24th last, with a view to plan for the 45th anniversary 
and to make final arrangements for the tablet; and at a subsequent 
meeting, and through extensive correspondence, the plans were 
completed with the extremely satisfactory result as shown in these 



OBITUAEY. 

Several classmates have passed away within the year. J. Henley 
Smith has been mentioned. Eensselaer W. Dayton, March 15, 
1907; Martin V. Bergen, October 18, 1907, and William Chester 
Baird, so recently as June 14, 1908. Mrs. Baird writes, "Mr. 
Baird was very greatly interested in the ceremonies attendant 



upon the unveiling," etc., "and had anticipated being witli you 
at that time." An operation was followed by apoplexy and a 
quiet passing away. "The long continued friendly interest of his 
Princeton classmates had affected him deeply, especially of late 
years." 

Since the "Sprays" last appeared, other deaths have occurred, 
of which appropriate notice has been taken : Christopher A. 
Bergen, John Calvin Holmes and Benjamin Seabrook Whaley, all 
in the year 1905. Thus gradually the tontine of the old class is 
narrowing, and must do so even more rapidly as the years come on. 

Before this reaches their hands the members of the class will 
have received a beautiful souvenir of our forty-fifth anniversary 
in a handsome photograph of the memorial bronze. This is most 
welcome to all of us, and will be particularly acceptable to those 
who were not present at the unveiling, being of a size to shov/ 
the detail of the tablet and allow of judging of the faithfulness 
and excellence of the portrait which is the prominent feature. 
This fine memento we owe to the generous thoughtfulness of Dr. 
Stryker, and certainly he deserves our warm thanks for completing 
his work so fully to our .satisfaction by this gift, which enables 
us all to see it to entire advantage. Nothing could be better to 
remind us of the day and the long past years and their rich 
memories. 

Henry U. Swinnerton", Class Historian. 
300 Main Street, 

Penn Yan, N. Y., 
July, 1908. 

PosTSCRiiPT. Cross got away out of reach on an automobile 
trip to Cape Cod. His hurried report of his speech is subjoined 
to complete this record as fully as possible. "It was touching," 
he writes, "to see Sam. and Patton send me off with a rousing 
cheer when I was introduced at the Alumni Dinner. Not worth 
keeping, but, as nearly as possible, the bones of my speech were 
about as follows. The toast master was a judge." 



May It Please Your Honor^ and Fellow Alumni : — 

President Wilson, in his speech just made, is very suggestive; 
He spoke of "Physics." I shall discuss the doctrine of the con- 
servation of energy. Nothing is lost. Every worthy life shall 
obtain its reward, and I am sure you will all approve of the Class 
of 1863 placing a memorial to those noble men, the Faculty of our 
time, headed by President MacLean. They are embalmed in our 
memory more permanently than in our monument of bronze. 
None who saw it will forget President MacLean' s last appearance 
in a gathering similar to this. Professor Henry presenting him. 
The venerable man, bowed with years, was only able to repeat, 
what he so often said, that "the College stood for true religion and 
sound learning f after which he was led out, the audience standing 
in impressive silence. 

"John," — it speaks of his attitude to us and of our feeling 
towards him, — he called us by our last names, we called him by 
his first ! 

That life is not lost, though it waned to its appointed end. At 
the end of our day we too shall all receive our penny, all unprofi- 
table servants though we be. 

In speaking to a Harvard Club some time since, I drew their 
attention to their present standing in the lime-light through the 
prominence of the University caused by Mr. Eoosevelfs adminis- 
tration. It looks like a Yale administration next; and then, if 
the Great Commoner ever gets tired, it may be followed by a 
Princeton one. President Wilson exceeded President Eoosevelt 
in a recent remark. On the President saying, "Every man should 
have a fair deal," he capped it by the very suggestive comment, 
"There should be no deal at all." 

May the College always stand for what it has in the days gone 
by, and does in the present. Doctor MacLean's "true religion and 
sound learning;" and may the time never come when if a man 
should be asked, "Who made you?" and he should say, "God," 
the President and faculty should shrug their shoulders and say, 
"We don't know about that !" 



We had a noble class, and though I shall not call the roll here 
and tell of each one, we who knew them and loved them can 
never lose the sweet memory. Many, like Jackson, earned 
imperishable renown on the battle field, as well as many in civil 
life, and our tears fall over the graves of those who have goim 
down in the stern battle of our mortal existence, faithful to the 
call of duty wherever and whenever it came. We who survive say 
with our College song, — 

"While they shall live, 

Her sons shall give 

Three cheers for Old Nassau,"
